Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Sign Of The Month , June 2007

Some fake/ repo/ fantasy signs. I would recommend keeping the fakes seperate from the real stuff so your quality collection does not get "contaminated"

I think this sign is based off of a real one, supposedly an Opaline and a Pennsylvaina like this traded hands at Columbus



All the top ones are fake, bottom right also fake

This stuff is not all mine, wish it was. I try to concentrate on Sinclair signs but I some how ended up with 4 pumps, a few cans and globes also.

I know several others have stuff I did not post yet. Ron, how about showing us some of your rare stuff?

Wes, thanks for posting all these pics. Cool signs and I enjoy looking at them all. I think the two little men and ladies porcelain signs under the lighted globes are Texaco restroom door signs. Ed

Wes,
That is the largest and most comprehensive Sinclair collection I've ever seen. Its gonna be tough to add anything that hasn't already been shown. Thanks for sharing!

Signs Wanted: Sunset, Clipper, Habor, Indian, Powerlube, Beacon, Sinclar Aircraft

A couple more signs.

First up is a seldom seen 6 foot plastic HC sign. Most HC signs were porcelain and the new Dino logo took over before a lot of the illuminated plastic sinage came out.



Next is yet another strip sign, this one a 23 foot, three part neon

Another pipe line sign



7 foot double sided porcelain



Illuminated plastic

Couple more pictures

The vertical Sinclair Opaline, Mobiline and Pennsylvania signs can be found in a few different types, flat and cookie cutter, for the Penn and Opaline, (I never saw a cookie cutter Mobaline) "oil" and "Oil(S)" on the Opaline

Couple flat ones, The Oil sign



The Oil"S"




A cookie cutter

A couple cardboard posters. There are a lot of these out there, some with good graphics.

Another picture of the same sign Quartcans posted, this is a foreign sign,



A sign still in use today at some stations



Make your own decision on this one, I believe it is an original sign and the colors look like Sinclair but I will not say it is a Sinclair sign for sure

Another strange sign, a Sinclair barge procedures sign

Overal picture



Bottom right corner, dated 1940



A well sign with the striped logo

Some oil can racks with signs attached. These signs are some times found seperate from the racks.

This first "sign" is dated 1935










Beware of this sign, there are fakes of it. Beware of any sign made by the AAA sign company, I believe all from this company are fakes.

Check this out, this is a box of 3 NOS vertical cookie cutter signs, still in the box, never opened. Probably Opaline or Pennsylvania signs but possibly the never before seen vertical Sinclair Aircraft signs???



Marked Sinclair, bottom right corner



A newer sign

This looks like a galvanized sign but is actually an unfinished soap bucket



A couple Additive Oil signs, possibly foreign?
